If I apply for divorce, will it affect my PR and me applying for citizenship?

William Junior Vasquez
Answered by attorney William Junior Vasquez (Unclaimed Profile)
Immigration lawyer at Vasquez Law Firm, PLLC
If you have permanent residency with no conditions attached (your card has a 10-year expiration date), filing for divorce will not affect your residency status or applying for citizenship. Not all marriages last forever, and USCIS cannot hold you responsible for your husband's actions and the dissolution of your marriage. Of course, in your naturalization interview, the immigration officer may ask you questions about your marital status due to the fact that is how you obtained residency, but he cannot use a divorce or separation as a basis for denying your citizenship application. However, if you still have a conditional permanent residency (for two years), and have not yet removed the conditions on your residency, a separation and/or divorce can complicate things in your immigration case. It is best to consult with an immigration lawyer to see if these situations apply to your case.

You need to wait for 3 years after you receive/were granted your permanent residency. The date is indicated on your green card.

Can we start over with our AOS application and try to get a 10 year green card instead since my wife and I have been married over 2 years?
